~that i get so excited for something new i can't sleep
~These girls really know how to canoe, and camp anywhere
~i learned that sometimes in the moment we forget what we are looking at, but when you turn around and see where you have been... it can take your breath away with how beautiful it was!
~i learned that when your all paddling at your own pace it isnt at full power, but when you work as a team with everyone paddling at the same time you get somewhere!
~i learned that you constantly re-apply sunscreen... and that it really hurts when your pants rub up against your sunburn

~i learned that if you get up and go to the bathroom at 3 the mosquitos were still waiting to eat me alive... they succeeded and bit my lips, eye, and chin!
~i learned that you can never be excited to wake up your friends knowing that you look like a monster...
~ i learned that laughter really is the best medicine and that i had friends that were there to take care of me and not make me stand there getting eatin' alive by those damn mosquitos.
~ i learned that in life sometimes i really need to escape to the mountains and be surrounded by the beauty that God has given us to enjoy!!!
